ko8's Responsible Gaming — Your Safety Is Our Priority
Gaming is entertainment, not a source of income. ko8 provides every player with the tools and support needed to play safely, healthily and mindfully — because your wellbeing is our highest responsibility.
Introduction to Responsible Gaming
Online betting and casino gaming is a popular form of entertainment, but it can become harmful if not approached correctly. ko8 believes it is essential for every player to be aware of their own limits and to play responsibly. On this page we will explain how to build responsible gaming habits, which signs indicate a problem, and which tools you can use to keep your gaming under control.
At ko8, only individuals aged 21 or older may open an account and play games. We ensure that minors cannot access our platform. Our responsible gaming policy is not just a rule — it is our long-term commitment to our players.
If you feel that gaming is having a negative impact on your daily life, family or financial situation, contact our 24/7 live chat support right away or use the self-exclusion and deposit limit tools listed below. Your wellbeing and peace of mind — that is what matters most to us.

Our Responsible Gaming Tools
Deposit Limit
You can set a maximum daily, weekly or monthly deposit amount at any time. Once set, reducing the limit takes effect immediately, while increasing it takes effect after a set waiting period — protecting you from impulsive decisions.
Time-Out Break
When you feel you need a rest, you can take a temporary time-out from 1 day up to 6 weeks. During the time-out you will not be able to place any bets or play any games. It is an effective way to reset your gaming habits.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel gaming is getting out of control, choose a long-term self-exclusion. You can close your account for a period starting from 6 months up to permanently. During this time our team will not send you any promotional communications.
Reality Check Reminder
At set intervals (for example every 30 minutes) a reminder appears on screen showing your session time and total spend. It helps you stay aware and decide whether to continue playing.
Loss Limit
Set a loss limit to stop betting once you have lost a specific amount. When that limit is reached, your account will automatically stop gaming for the rest of the day. Staying within your budget becomes easier.
Age Verification (21+)
Age verification is mandatory when opening an account at ko8. Only individuals aged 21 or older may use our platform. We follow strict policies to prevent access by minors and recommend using parental control software.
